DIYHD was the #4 channel in the poll, requested by one-third of everyone who voted.

The argument could be made that it was actually #3, based on strength of feeling (i.e. it got significantly more #1 + #2 votes than the #3 "cumulative" ranker, which pulled ahead with votes further down the priority list).

The only missing now from the top-8 is H2 and IFC.

I'd personally be willing to bet that had TV Land and Pac-12 Network been available at the time, IFC probably wouldn't have made the Top 8. I think H2 might have still been in the Top 8 though...

*2008 and 2010 both brought me an additional channel that I have watched on occasion, but not enough that I'd actually miss them, so I left them out...

If DIYHD and IONEHD are added this year, 2012 will not only have beaten 2010 (even counting the additional channel I mentioned above) for NATIONAL** HD channel adds in my eyes, but any more additions from my wishlist beyond that will REALLY put it over the top.

This will potentially be the most NATIONAL HD additions for me in a single year since that first year that D10 went active.

** My locals were added in 2010, but for NATIONAL HD additions, 2012 is shaping up to potentially be the best it can be.

I care about 2 that came with the 2010 rollout you didn't mention WGN-HD & ESPN U
